Full analysis and player-by-player grades for the Clippers' 2025 free agency haul, including grades for Brooks, Harden, Batum, and more.

The Los Angeles Clippers have quietly made some of the best moves this offseason. From the addition of John Collins to the recent signing of Bradley Beal, the Clippers have effectively become one of the most competitive teams in the Western Conference.

LAS VEGAS — Jordan Miller’s crisp offensive performance helped offset a similarly impressive effort from Bronny James and vaulted the Los Angeles Clippers to a 67-58 win over the Los Angeles Lakers in an NBA 2K26 Summer League battle at Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas on Monday night.

Los Angeles Clippers rookie Yanic Konan-Niederhauser has tied SGA atop an NBA leaderboard without even playing a game. Both players have 18 characters on the backs of their jerseys, counting the hyphen and the 17 letters in their elongated last names.

Ben Simmons spent the 2024-25 season playing for the Brooklyn Nets and LA Clippers. He had averages of 5.0 points and 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per contest while shooting 52.0% from the field in 51 games. The three-time NBA All-Star is currently a free agent.

The veteran scorer is widely expected to be bought out of his current contract with the Phoenix Suns. If that happens, he will become an unrestricted free agent, where he will likely have suitors from around the NBA.

All this comes after the Phoenix Suns traded superstar Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets for Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and the 10th pick (Khaman Maluach) in the 2025 NBA Draft. The Boston Celtics also began a refresh by trading Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trailblazers and Kristaps Porziņģis to the Atlanta Hawks.

As the 22-year-old center develops, he can look to a couple of teammates as examples of how continued improvement can pay off.
